Agent inboxes let your AI agent receive incoming email on your behalf. Once connected, your agent can read, triage, and respond to messages — just like a human team member monitoring the inbox.

How It Works

  1. Someone emails your original address (e.g., john@abc-steel.com)
  2. Your email provider forwards a copy to your agent inbox (e.g., sales@abc-steel.com)
  3. Emanate receives the message and your agent can process it
  4. The agent can draft and send replies from the agent inbox address
Your original inbox keeps working normally. Forwarding sends a copy — it doesn’t redirect or remove the original message.
